but i took a shot at a higher game today (and failed) and wanted to post some of these. will provide reads.

hand 1: villain here is a complete donk who will play any two. pretty reasonable postflop though. not too tricky and doesnt bluff but likes to slowplay AA and the likes. also likes to bet draws a lot.

hand2:

villain here is tricky, smart, and a former 2+2er. he didn't call the flop with the intention of bluffraising the turn though. i'm beginning to think bet/fold is better than check/call down. thoughts?

Hand 1 I raise the flop.
Find out where you are on the cheap street, plus you might get a fold and a free turn card.

Hand 2
meh. I play it the same. I don't wanna look for a fold cause the pot is decent sized.

Hand 3

Against someone isoraising alot, I like the cap and lead if they can fold.

That said, the way it went down...

River card is sick. I probably check/call, maybe check/fold. I defenitely check. I don't wanna get bluff raised, and that is a good bluff raising card.

Was it one of those where you click bet before the river card really registers in your mind?

Cause I hate when I do that.

I check/call for hand at the river, cringing for a check from your opponent. Personally I would call the bet, but expect to lose. I don't think thats hte optimal strategy, but that is the one I would take [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

yeah, pretty much. i dont think he'd call the river with A high tho and im not beating anything else so i probably should check/call EVERY river but an A and check/fold an A. sound good?

Hand 1: Since the villian likes to bet his draws a lot I like the turn raise better here. WIth a board this draw heavy you run the chance of getting three bet by a weaker hand which will put you in a tough spot on later streets. A raise on the flop isnt going to get a fold from any good draw however a turn raise might do just that. Although it is an expensive street you really find out where you are with a turn raise. Easy fold to a three bet.

Hand 2: I play it the same as well.

Hand 3. This is a close one between check call and check fold. It is really going to depend on the read I have on the player here.

Hand 1: I like the turn play if the BB would fire here on the turn with hearts or some other goofy draw, otherwise I'd just fold. I agree with Truth about the flop

Hand 2: I don't think you're giving up much by bet/folding the turn. Worst case scenario he's pushing you off a chop.

Hand 3: I'm checking and folding the A. I think you should check/call a Q,J,T river and bet anything else.
